The Olympic just had the" normal" carrier of a luxury/immigrant transatlantic ship of the era. It was shadowed by it's younger sibling Titanic history. Everybody knows the Titanic, almost no one ever remembers the Olympic (exception made to those who care for travel history). And the Britannic never had a commercial carrier, that makes it known only to war history buffs.
